3 "Axis" Technology Object

3.3 Synchronous axis (TO_SynchronousAxis)


"MC_MoveSuperimposed"
Starting an additional superimposed movement to an already running basic
movement.

"MC_TorqueLimiting"
Enabling and configuring a force or torque limitation or a fixed stop detection
for the position-controlled axis. This function can be enabled or disabled before
or during a position-controlled movement.

"MC_SetSensor" (only S7-1500T)
Switchover of the encoder that is used for the position control of the axis. Here,
it can be selected between four configured encoders on the axis.
3.2.2

Fields of application

The positioning axis technology object is necessary for all applications, in which a
precise (controlled) positioning of an axis from the user program is required. Fast
and defined positioning of the axis and the compensation of possible occurring
faults when moving forward, reaching or stopping the target position of the axis is
possible via the position control.
3.2.3

Application

This technology object can be used, for example, for the following applications:

Precise positioning of axis

Use of suspended (gravity loaded) axes
3.3 Synchronous axis (TO_SynchronousAxis)
3.3.1

General information

The synchronous axis technology object contains all the functions of the
positioning axis technology object. In addition, the axis can be interconnected
using a conductance, for example, interconnecting the setpoint of another axis
(master axis), so that the axis follows the position change of the master axis in
synchronous mode.
